Chapter 29a The Paramedic William Chapleau

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
3 layers of the blood vessel.   Tunica intima, Tunica Media, Tunica Adventitia.  
🗑
Frank-Starling mechanism.   The more a cardiac muscle is stretched , the harder it will contract.  
🗑
Action Potential   Relationship between electrolytes (Sodium,Potassium,Calcium)  
🗑
Action Potential change in electrolytes.   Sodium moves IN, Potassium moves OUT, Calcium moves IN.  
🗑
Portion of heart Right Coronary perfuses.   Right Heart  
🗑
Portion of heart Left Coronary perfuses.   Left lateral wall and posterior portion of heart.  
🗑
Location of Pressoreceptor and Chemoreceptors.   Aortic Arch & Carotid Sinus of Carotid Arteries.  
🗑
Sino-Atrial Node   Located in right atrium. Intrinsic rate of 60-100.  
🗑
Atrio-Ventricular Node   Located in right atrium. Causes brief delay in impulse conduction so atria has time to contract and fill ventricles. Perfusion from right coronary.  
🗑
Bundle of His   Located in intraventricular septum. Intrinsic rate of 40-60.  
🗑
Bundle Branches   1 on right side. 2-3 on left side.  
🗑
Purkinje Fibers   Last Pacemaker, Deep fiber network, intrinsic rate or 15-40.  
🗑
Types of 3 leads   Limb Leads, Augmented Leads, Precordial Leads.  
🗑
Limb Leads   Bipolar leads that represent the frontal plane activity.  
🗑
Augmented Leads   (AVL,AVR,AVF) Unipolar leads that allow for increased amplitude by 50% over limb leads.  
🗑
Precordial Leads   (V1,V2,V3,V4,V5,V6) Unipolar leads that look at horizontal plane of left ventricular.  
🗑
Dr. Einthovens theory   Left Arm is + or - , Right Arm is - , Left Leg is + ,  
🗑
P Wave   (Atrial Depolarization) 2.5mm in height less then .08 seconds  
🗑
PR Interval   (Conduction of impulses from Sinus through Atria through AV Junction) .12 - .20 seconds.  
🗑
QRS   (Ventricular Depolarization) .10 seconds or less.  
🗑
First negative deflection from baseline before R Wave   Q Wave  
🗑
First positive Deflection, following Q if present.   R Wave  
🗑
Negative deflection following R Wave   S Wave  
🗑
ST Segment   (Begining of Ventricular Repolarization) ST Segments elevated 1mm or more suspect for ventricular ischemia or injury.  
🗑
T Wave   (Ventricular Repolarization)  
🗑
QT Interval   (Total ventricular depolarization & repolarization) .40-.44 seconds. Prolonged QT can indicate potential life threatening dysrhythmias.  
🗑
Small ECG Square   .04 seconds , 1 mm  
🗑
Large ECG Square   .20 seconds , 5 mm  
🗑
How many seconds in 15 Large Squares?   3 seconds  
🗑
Ability to initiate an electrical impulse with out nervous system stimulation?   Automaticity  
🗑
Ability to recieve & respond to an electrical impulse?   Excitability  
🗑
Ability to contract when stimulated?   Contractility  
🗑
Strength of cardiac contraction?   Inotropic  
🗑
Influence on HR + chrontropic effect speed up HR   Chronotropic  
🗑
Pressure from flow of blood into Atria   Preload  
🗑
Movement of blood into ventricles w atria contraction   Atrial Kick  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
